That’s the way to do it!

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

Two asian teenagers – one 15 and the other 16 years old – were killed this weekend near Paris when they rode their stolen mini-moto into a police car on a routine patrol.  They weren’t being chased and they weren’t wearing helmets.  The response by their peers?

  • Villiers-le-Bel police station has been set on fire
  • Arnouville police station has been pillaged
  • Two petrol stations have been torched
  • Arnouville-Villier-le-Bel railway station has been damaged
  • Shops have been damaged
  • Cars have been torched
  • Burning car roadblocks have been set up

This is what happens when two idiot teenagers kill themselves, can you imagine what would happen if they had to endure the various injustices and institutional discrimination that the English do at the hands of the British establishment?  The country would be razed to the ground!

Omar Sehhouli, the brother of one of the dead teenagers said it “was not violence but an expression of rage”.  Brilliant.  Next time No Mandate Brown sends me into a rage I’ll get myself down to the train station with a can of petrol and a box of matches.  In fact, I’ve just seen his face on the BBC website … vive la revolution!

Perhaps we have something to learn from the continental approach to democracy after all …

    See..? 😉 We’re all dead. Just remain calm, and don’t bother getting up in the morning, because after all, fighting it is pointless…

    Over a pound a litre now. Biofuel? I received an email yesterday telling me that biofuel crops will remove 10% of the worlds arable land if targets are met meaning we won’t have enough crops to satisfy our needs. China has become a net importer of crops for the first time in modern history because they’re using arable land for other purposes and because their new-found wealth has changed their diet from cereal to meat protein and it takes 16lbs of cereal and 10 times as much water to produce 1lb of meat.

    There are so many problems affecting the world but only the taxable ones are of interest to governments.

    I think they are North African but pretty much the same.

    I think water cannon would be ideal, especially in this weather, in fact, if they used dye in the water, it would be easy to track down the naughty people too!
